Solar Slowpump isthe world's first commercially available low power solar pump. It is the ideal pump for low votlage and low flow applications. Maintenence free liable construction make this slow pump an ideal solar surface pump.
Slowpump is not submersible, but can draw water from shallow wells, springs, cisterns, tanks, ponds, rivers, and streams, and push it as high as 450 vertical feet and through miles (kilometers) of pipeline. Slow pumping minimizes the size and cost of the solar array, wire and piping. Slowpump is less expensive than submersible DC pumps, and made in a much wider range of sizes. Wearing parts typically last 5 to 10 years. Overall life expectancy is 15 to 20 years.
